Stealth pwns. Special thanks to Big D for making this log available.
>
Klaive just appeared.
You feel yourself being pulled away...
[Consultation Lounge]
The cozy surroundings of this simple conference room provide a much-welcomed respite from the chaos just outside its walls. You notice several plush chairs arranged casually around the room in a comfortable grouping.
Obvious exits: none
>
A shaft of scintillating light suddenly pierces the ceiling and strikes the ground next to you. The beam of light then explodes in a shower of sparks and Stealth is standing in its place.
>
Stealth asks, "Mind explaining that?"
>"It's role-play, dude.
You say, "It's role-play, dude."
>
Stealth says, "Explain a bit more."
>nod
You nod.

Stealth smiles patiently.
>"Rarr decided to openly challenge and threaten Klaive and Kurapira on the thought net a few nights back. Kurapira is being RPed as pregnant right now and while Klaive was gone, Rarr decided to antagonize and kill her.

Your black lizard suddenly begins whining and hissing. You feel it erupt into a flurry of movement on your shoulder! Its tail smacks you several times on the side of your head. Wincing at the blows, you try to quiet the lizard by patting it reassuringly. Then you notice what caused the creature's agitation. A small black fly is winging away into the distance. The lizard follows the insect's progress, a wistful expression in its eyes.
>"She made a comment that she invited Klaive to try and take revenge for such a thing. I have followed her for a while, and there has been every indication that conflict was consentual.

Stealth says, "Ok I will be right back to you."
>nod
You feel at full magical power again.

You nod.

Stealth gestures and a shaft of scintillating light from somewhere above pierces the ceiling and engulfs him. When the light recedes Stealth is no longer there.
>
A low chirping sound comes from within a lacquered grey cricket box.

You see GameMaster Stealth Moonhunter.
He appears to be a Giant.
He appears to be wizened with age. He has piercing blue eyes and tanned skin. He has long, dark auburn hair with grey at the temples. He has broad shoulders.
He is in good shape.
He is holding a crude lockpick in his right hand.
He is wearing an imbeddable amulet, a vultite shield, some dark clothing, a weathered old tome, a severed elf head, a shadowy spidersilk rucksack, a troll heart necklace, some boots, a small black leather eyepatch, a crystal amulet, a Warrior Guild Master pin, and a large sack.
>
Your black lizard fidgets, bobbing from side to side and clicking its jaws.
>
Stealth says, "Ok I am going to issue a warning to you for unconsentual PvP at this time. Keep in mind that conflicts need to be between you and the other person, not between another person and a third and then you involving yourself."
>blink
You blink.
>
Stealth says, "You also need to deal with them in a timely manner."

You shrug.
>"Thanks for your time.
>
You say, "Thanks for your time."
>
Stealth says, "You need to do alot more RPing in the future rather than just walk in and start casting at people."
>"Sorry, I was just under the impression that game mechanics could be a part of role-play. Klaive is a man of few words and has very little problem killing those who cross them. But I'll be sure to use your wonderful WARN INTERACT verb on Rarr when I return.

>smile
You smile.
>
Stealth says, "Well what you need to keep in mind is that your conflicts are yours."
>
Stealth says, "Not Kurapira's or whoever elses."
>
Stealth asks, "Is that perfectly clear to you?"
>
A low chirping sound comes from within a lacquered grey cricket box.
>"Hmmm, so the policy regarding couples defending one another IS limited to DragonRealms, yes?

You ask, "Hmmm, so the policy regarding couples defending one another IS limited to DragonRealms, yes?"

You say, "Gotcha."

Stealth says, "Gemstone policy is that you have your own conflicts."
>"Perfectly clear I suppose.
You say, "Perfectly clear I suppose."
>nod
You nod.
>
Stealth says, "Defending someone is one thing...such as stunning an attacker to prevent harm to them."
>
Stealth says, "Going out several days later to avenge an insult is not."
>"A murder of a pregnant fiancee is a bit more than an insult.
You say, "A murder of a pregnant fiancee is a bit more than an insult."

You say, "But alright."

You nod.

>shrug
You shrug.
>
Stealth asks, "When did this happen?"
>
Stealth peers quizzically at you.
>
You can feel the black lizard sitting on your shoulder begin to get restless. It shifts its weight from side and side, and lashes its long tail. Soon, the lizard begins clicking its jaws open and closed. Not in the mood for any of the creature's shenanigans, you turn your head and stare at it with eyes narrowed. Alerted by the motion of your head, the lizard stops fidgeting and gazes languidly up at you with wide-eyed innocence. Then, it leans into your neck and gives you an affectionate snuggle.
>"The murder?
You ask, "The murder?"
>
Stealth says, "Yes."
>"I think it was two days ago, I'm asking.
You say, "I think it was two days ago, I'm asking."
>nod
You nod.
>
Stealth asks, "You think?"
>"Two days ago.
You say, "Two days ago."
>
Stealth asks, "You weren't even there?"
>"As I said, I wasn't present.
You say, "As I said, I wasn't present."
>
Stealth chuckles.
>"Had I been there, it wouldn't have happened.
You say, "Had I been there, it wouldn't have happened."
>
Stealth says, "I am showing no murders on Kurapira by Rarr."
>
Stealth says, "In the last 30 days."
>"She hasn't reported, if that's what you mean.
You say, "She hasn't reported, if that's what you mean."
>"We were under the impression that this was role-play.
You say, "We were under the impression that this was role-play."
>
A low chirping sound comes from within a lacquered grey cricket box.
>
Stealth says, "No that isn't what I mean."
>
Stealth says, "I mean EVER."
>
>Stealth says, "Rarr has never killed Kurapira."
>
Stealth says, "Our system logs each time a player kills another."
>
Stealth says, "Rarr has never killed her."
>
Stealth says, "I think you weren't under an impression at all."
>"Larailia and Alfue were there she says.
You say, "Larailia and Alfue were there she says."
>
Stealth asks, "What does that have to do with it?"
>
Your red velvet swordtail gently bites off a piece of errant seaweed within its rainbow glaes fishbowl.
>"They should be able to vouch for the fact that Rarr killed her.
You say, "They should be able to vouch for the fact that Rarr killed her."
>
Stealth asks, "How did Rarr supposedly kill her?"
>"Casting.
You say, "Casting."
>
Stealth says, "Really."
>
Stealth asks, "Casting what?"
>
Stealth asks, "And where?"
>"Merchant trail outside the gates she says.
You say, "Merchant trail outside the gates she says."
>
Stealth asks, "What spell?"
>"She doesn't know what spell it was.
You say, "She doesn't know what spell it was."
>"she bound and silenced first though.
You say, "She bound and silenced first though."
>"if that helps.
You say, "If that helps."
>
Your black lizard scampers across your shoulders, obviously deciding the view is better from your other side.
>
Stealth asks, "What do her witnesses say she cast?"
>"I wouldn't know, I don't talk to them.
You say, "I wouldn't know, I don't talk to them."
>
Stealth says, "It's a moot point, I don't show a murder in our logs."
>
A low chirping sound comes from within a lacquered grey cricket box.
>"You've already warned me for unconsentual PVP, Stealth. That's over and done with. I disagree with the situation, but my policy violating days are over. From now on, I'll do my role-playing in D&D and my power hunting in GS and that'll be that.

>
Stealth asks, "This being your fourth warning, you are getting pretty close to the line. Further trouble could result in your ability to play being temporarily removed. You need to be absolutely sure you have RPed a conflict and have consent on all sides. Do you understand that?"
>"There will be no more conflicts.
You say, "There will be no more conflicts."
>"I'm done role-playing things out here.
Stealth says, "Very well."
>
You say, "I'm done role-playing things out here."
>"I find the policies prohibit my style of play.
>
You say, "I find the policies prohibit my style of play."
>
Stealth says, "Well I certainly didn't see any RPing tonight."
>"So I will enjoy the systems.
Stealth asks, "So I doubt that will change alot eh?"
>
You say, "So I will enjoy the systems."
>
Stealth says, "You walked in and started casting."
>"You're entitled to your opinions.
You say, "You're entitled to your opinions."
>smile
You smile.
>
Stealth shrugs.
>
Stealth says, "If that is your idea of Rp..."
>
Stealth says, "I think you are missing something in that definition."
>
Stealth asks, "Ready to head back?"
>"You'd have to know the character. But yes, such a thing is very much in character for Klaive.
You say, "You'd have to know the character. But yes, such a thing is very much in character for Klaive."

You nod.
>"Sure am.
You say, "Sure am."
>"Have a nice night.
You say, "Have a nice night."
>
Stealth says, "You as well."

The world grows blurry and indistinct. After a moment everything becomes clear again. Looking about, you see...

Klaive just appeared.
